Chapter 178


    Chapter 178 Lump in Throat


    Rory never put his heart on her. Should I continue this unpromising hidden love? Thought Vi.


    She felt tired, but she was reluctant to let go…


    When will Rory give up on Nova and have a look at me?


    “Well, have you ever thought of giving up?” Vi looked at Rory and asked.


    The chauffeur was driving in silence. He never took an interest in his boss’s affairs.


    Rory showed a trace of dolefulness in his eyes. He subconsciously turned to Vi and produced a bitter


    smile.


    “Vi, you have a crush on anyone?”


    Vi’s heart skipped a beat, and she was stunned by the question.


    Rory didn’t expect an answer from her, and he continued all by himself, “I didn’t fall in love with her


    merely


    yesterday or the day before yesterday. Protecting her had be an instinct of mine over the years


    though I


    never extravagantly wished for her love. But… if she is willing to get together with me, I will definitely


    keep her


    close at my heart, and I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance in this life.”


    Vi’s expression became moreplicated.


    To what extent does Rory like Nova?


    But sheughed at herself the next moment. There’s no need to ask.


    What Nova to him is what he to me.


    Dearest love will make one help his or her beloved one to attain happiness.


    Therefore, even if Vi knew Rory had a crush on Nova, she wouldn’t be jealousy. She would only feel


    bitter,


    but she would back Rory up without trying to attract his attention.


    “Vi, what’s the matter?” Hearing herughter, Rory turned around and found tears streaming down her


    cheek.


    Rory’s expression changed. “Have I offended you? Why are you crying?”


    Though the chauffeur didn’t want to take himself concerned with the love triangle, he still subconsciously


    looked at Vi through the rearview mirror in the middle of the car.


    Vi came back to herself. She wiped her tears and tried to exin, “It’s nothing. Just some old stories.


    urred to me. I’m fine. I drank too much today.”


    Rory frowned, and, obviously, he was not convinced. And he asked with concern, “Something worries


    you?


    Some pressure from your family? You have any trouble with anything? You can tell me. I could help you.”


    Vi felt her heart rended. Rory is being so nice to me. How could I give up on him?


    She felt so painful!


    “I’m fine.” Vi braced herself up and turned to the darkness of the night to keep Rory out of her sight.


    She wanted to avoid all kinds ofmunications with Rory, because she feared that she might confess


    her feelings to Rory with the impulsion provided by alcohol.


    Her confession would make their rtion awkward. By then, Rory might alienate her, which was the least


    thing she ever wished for. If she couldn’t be his sweetheart, she might as well continue to stay by his side


    as a friend. She was satisfied with the way she had always been in.


    In this way, at least she could have him drinking with her when she felt sad. However, if she confessed,


    he would avoid her.


    Seeing that she didn’t want to say anything, Rory had no choice but to say, “Though I like Nova and I pay


    attention to her, you girls are my friends as well. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me any time.


    Whether


    I am capable to solve it or not, I will try to help you.”


    “I

    Vi only felt a lump in her throat. She restrained herself from crying. She just humphed as response.


    She


    didn’t dare to speak for fear of crying out.


    Rory didn’t notice Vi’s expression, and he turned away from Vi slowly. The car was shrouded in


    silence. The silence was broken when they arrived at Vi’s home.


    “I’m getting off.”
